DBV Dubrovnik

How deep the DBV board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from DBV. This reads the same 70 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound, what the clock here does to a Gulf working day and which of the destinations shut at night, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 39of the 70 destinations are flown by one airline
• 45destinations run less than once a day
• 2destinations have four or more departures a day
• 34.3%of the destinations name Ryanair, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at DBV

37 airlines appear on the DBV board and they do not hold it evenly. Ryanair is on 24 of the 70 destinations, 34.3 per cent of them, and on 10 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 23.6 of the 69.2 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is Croatia Airlines on 10 destinations. 26 of the 37 airlines at DBV appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

That is a middling concentration at DBV: one airline on 34.3 per cent of the destinations and the other 65.7 per cent spread across 36 airlines. A cancellation inside the Ryanair network is often survivable inside the same booking, but on the 46 destinations Ryanair does not touch, a rebooking means moving to a carrier the desk has to check for a through fare first.

How much of the DBV board is daily

Of the 70 destinations, 25 are flown at least once a day and 45 are not, 5 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the DBV board is flown 4 times a week.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: DBV to Luxembourg (LUX) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 18.3 of the 69.2 departures a day, 26.4 per cent of the whole board. With 64.3 per cent of the 70 destinations running less than daily, this is a board that rewards booking the outbound before the collection is confirmed rather than after.

The ten destinations out of DBV where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable. 22 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from DBV

The desk holds the return direction for 60 of the 70 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On two of them the return into DBV runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gaps are Brussels (BRU) at 0.43 out a day against 0.14 back and Istanbul (IST) at 1.6 out a day against 0.71 back.

It runs the other way as well: London (LGW) files 6.3 a day back into DBV against 4.6 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at DBV

DBV keeps Europe/Zagreb time, two hours behind Dubai in summer and three hours behind in winter, because the clock here moves and the Gulf clock does not.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 07:00 at DBV, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for seven hours. That is wide enough to settle a customs question at DBV and still make a departure the same day.

The night at DBV

15 of the destinations from here carry a documented night restriction of their own, which is a departure time question at this end rather than an arrival problem at the other.

Into London (LGW) the door shuts at 23:30 local, so the last departure from DBV that lands inside it leaves around 21:50, on a modelled block of 2h 40m. Into Vienna (VIE) the door shuts at 23:30 local, so the last departure from DBV that lands inside it leaves around 22:04, on a modelled block of 1h 26m. Into Munich (MUC) the door shuts at 22:00 local, so the last departure from DBV that lands inside it leaves around 20:27, on a modelled block of 1h 33m. Those three departure times out of DBV are worked backwards from the published window with the block time model this site uses everywhere, 720 to 880 km an hour by sector length with thirty minutes on the ground, so they are arithmetic rather than a timetable and the desk checks the published departure before it promises the landing.

Where DBV turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the Croatia country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

The site publishes 5 airport pair pages that start or end at DBV, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Dubrovnik to Bristol (BRS), Dubrovnik to Birmingham (BHX) and Dubrovnik to Marseille (MRS).

One courier posting names DBV as the airport a courier here flies from: Dubrovnik.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with DBV already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 70 destinations above.
